[edit] New Logo

OPB just re-branded itself recentley.

If possible, could someone update the article with new logo and recent developments? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bentoman (talk • contribs) 06:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Historical bits

Call signs not replicated in another band don't have a suffix. Thus, simply KFDJ and then KOAC until the TV station signed on, and thereafter, KOAC-AM and KOAC-TV, although I might suggest KOAC (AM) be used on first mention if it is felt necessary to avoid confusion.

Prior to the clumsy OEPBS moniker (adopted after the creation of PBS), the system was named Oregon Educational Broadcasting (OEB). My guess is this dates to the early sixties when the Portland stations signed on, as it was announced as "The stations of..." The logo was a triangular arrangement of three (something like) semicircles around "OEB," which was subtly (perhaps unintentionally) echoed in the "crescent moon" logo used between the first OPB circular "O" logo and the current "toy blocks."
